Alzner/Bogosian over MDZ or Carlson for me as an example. Not because they're better players. A potential no1 dman with both offensive/defensive ability is far better than a potential no2 type dman like Alzner/Bogosian.

The reason is because Alzner/Bogo are safer bets for us. They'd provide some steady defence and less of a chance of boom/bust imo then MDZ.

Bogosion is anything but a safe bet. Same age as Del Zotto, has had some injury issues, and Del Zotto has not one but two seasons of more production offensively.
